I haven't downloaded or upgraded OXPs for some time but I have been upgrading OOlite from the nightly builds.
Today, for the first time, I have scooped cargo pods and seen these messages:
Cannister contains corpses
1 tonne of nothingness
Cannister is empty
Are these new additions to the game?

Whooooooo, neat. Where can I, as a good person get these nightly builds? Are the corpses food?

If you're running Linux this will do it:
Code: Select all
echo on
cd /usr/lib/Oolite
pwd
sudo rsync -rlv --progress rsync://rsync.alioth.net/oolite/nightly/Linux-x86/* .
when placed in an executable shell file.
Look in the stickies for more info.

Seems to be normal stuff from
Cargo_Wrecks_Teaser (from version 1 onwards).

The first one is mildly disturbing. Would that be classed as Food or a very niche Luxury?
<Edit to add:> And by the way, the third cannister is NOT empty, it's actually a tonne of Stellar Spider Gossamer. It's a micro fibre used to create very high quality fabrics for the insanely rich. Oddly enough, it is only visible to those with a high-IQ, due to the effect of it's refractive qualities on the viewers' cognitive powers.....
And it's Cr1000 a tonne.

In other words, not visible to anybody who has ever paid good money for a trumble

I *certainly would not* agree with that.... All my customers are erudite and highly intellectual
suckers consumers of ultra-high quality produce.

lol yes this is from the wrex-cargo fun cargotext was added around v1.7 or so, empty cannisters are a fairly recent addition.
I haven't added any trumble infested cargo as far as I recall, those were reserved for the 'Get Hespy' and trumble related OXPs.
Which I promise to complete someday.
The 'one tonne of nothing' was actually shipped as 'highly energetic quantum foam'... obviously a hoax.
